"Snell and Yamamoto already started in this series, and the Jays will face Tyler Glasnow tonight while awaiting Shohei Ohtani tomorrow night at Dodger Stadium. That is a deadly rotation to go against when they are healthy and firing on all cylinders, proven by their combined 1.84 ERA this postseason and allowing just 16 earned runs through 78 1/3 innings."
"This is a stark contrast to their bullpen, which has struggled mightily this October. The relief corps has struggled mightily to replicate the success of their rotation counterparts and owns a 6.16 ERA through 30 2/3 innings this postseason. They've also allowed 21 runs during that span and have walked 20 batters compared to 23 punchouts, leaving much to be desired amongst the group."
"Of the relievers, the only player finding success at this time is Roki Sasaki, the de facto closer this postseason. The starter turned closer this October has allowed just three hits and one earned run in his first postseason with Los Angeles, and is their most trusted reliever at this time. The likes of Blake Treien, Anthony Banda, and Emmet Sheehan have struggled to produce when called upon,"
The Toronto Blue Jays head to the West Coast tied with the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series. Yoshinobu Yamamoto threw a complete game allowing one earned run to swing momentum. The Dodgers’ starting rotation is elite, featuring ace-calibre arms with a combined 1.84 ERA this postseason and just 16 earned runs allowed through 78 1/3 innings. The Jays face Tyler Glasnow and await Shohei Ohtani. The Dodgers’ bullpen has struggled, posting a 6.16 ERA through 30 2/3 innings, allowing 21 runs, walking 20 and striking out 23. Tanner Scott and Alex Vesia are unavailable, while Roki Sasaki has been the lone reliable reliever.
